Pump or bucket or both? |
The paddlers bilge pump in many states is a piece of mandatory equipment when out on a kayak or canoe as an alternative to a one gallon bucket.
Company models are fairly similar in operation and price but I have not seen an independent assessment of their durability for example when in areas with sand/weeds etc. I've used the Seattle and it works well except for the need to add a short 3" piece of clear PVC hose to the end (you can attach with a couple of heavy duty black electrical ties) or end up having some of the water re-enter your cockpit. The alternative is to have a spray skirt with an entrance hatch/opening.
The float on it is a nice touch and the handle allows for a means of additional securing to your boat. Remember anything not attached to a kayak eventually ends up in the big plastic scrap piles floating in the ocean and killing off the sea life. |

Inexpensive bilge pump |
|
Nice inexpensive bilge pump that was sent quickly after my order was placed. Sadly, maybe it is a good thing, I have not used it on the boat yet. But, I have used to cleqar out a basement (a house I am building) after a torrential rain. Worked well and did not get clogged too often ((grin)). |
